Attach a short section of the original input file -- looks like should be able to just read it directly if you skip the three header lines. If you want to keep the three data values shown above, I don't understand why you would have written the format string you did???

[~, txt] = xlsread('file1.xls');
TAP_cell = regexp(txt(4:29), '(?<Tide>\S+)\s+(?<Amplitude>\S+)\s+(?<Phase>\S+)', 'names', 'once');
TAP = vertcat(TAP_cell{:});
Tides = {TAP.Tide};
Amplitudes = str2double({TAP.Amplitude});
Phases = str2double({TAP.Phase});
JOPR_cells = regexp(txt(35:end), '\s+', 'split');
JOPR_cell = vertcat(JOPR_cells{:});
JOPR = str2double(JOPR_cell);
JDay_LSTs = JOPR(:,1);
Observeds = JOPR(:,2);
Predicteds = JOPR(:,3);
Residuals = JOPR(:,4);

Remove the
Tides=(cellfun(@str2double, Tides)) ;
and use
T1 = cell2table( [Tides(:), num2cell(Amplitudes(:)), num2cell(Phases(:))], 'VariableNames', {'Tide', 'Amplitude', 'Phase'});
The problem is in trying to convert the Tide to numeric, since it is text.
